| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the Family Discipleship podcast, a podcast of training the church. |
| 0:13.3 | And so we have to ask the question, is dating this 120-year-old idea that's not in the Bible anywhere, Genesis Revelation, is dating for the purpose |
| 0:22.8 | of marriage or is it something else? I know people who are really wounded because their parents |
| 0:30.2 | prayed for their spouse with them every night and now they are 35. They've never been asked out. |
| 0:36.5 | When they ask someone out, they just say no. |
| 0:38.3 | And they are wrestling with this idea, gosh, was I called to singleness? |
| 0:42.3 | And it seems like my parents didn't value that possibility at all. |
| 0:47.3 | And I don't think he's like cheering for two 16-year-olds making out in the back seat. |
| 0:52.3 | Like I just don't, you know, I don't think he's ever cheered for that. I think he's actually jumping up and down, waving his arm, saying, no, no, no, this is going to cause you a lot of hurt. Hey, this is Adam Griffin, and I'm here with my lovely co-hosts, first, the diva of dating. Cassie Bryant. How you doing today, Cassie? Oh, diva of dating. All three dates. No, I mean, Eric and I have gone on a lot more dates in that. I only dated two guys before Eric, so. I was going to say, do you only go on three dates before he got married? You're the one that's advocating arranged marriage. We did only date for four months and we're engaged for four months. It was pretty brief. How many of your roommates did your husband date before you? I'm trying to remember. |
| 1:30.3 | He dated two of my roommates before he dated me. Okay. But you, you're the winner though. I mean, you're the gold medal. It's not like you're the bronze. Yeah. Yeah. Of course, the woman that I love to take out for dinner, Mrs. Chelsea Griffin is with us. How are you doing today, Chelsea? I'm doing great. I'm excited to talk about dating. Well, on today's episode, we have a very special guest with us, an incredible pastor, speaker, communicator, writer, just a great man. Ladies and General, will you welcome J.P. Pekluda to the podcast today. Yeah. J.P. How you doing, man? How you doing, JP? What's up, guys? |

| 2:07.3 | You read that just like I wrote it. |
| 2:10.2 | So thank you. |
| 2:12.0 | And I'm a huge fan of arranged marriages, so I hope we talk about that. |
| 2:16.9 | I actually recently arranged one, believe it or not, and that's pretty fun. |
| 2:22.5 | Is that true? Did you really do an arranged marriage? |
